The survival game by Fntastic and Mytona is also switching from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5. “The switch to a more powerful and adaptive open worlds engine will enhance The Day Before’s gameplay,” the businesses stated in a statement.

The same statement highlights the game’s pre-release success on services like Steam, claiming that “millions” of users have wishlisted it. It is presently ranked first on Steam’s top wishlists ranking.
